The weekend knows exactly what you’re up to.
Your Perks: 1) Blazers, shirts, vests and ties at up to 57% off. They range from handsome to very handsome. 2) A portable phone battery that also unfolds to plug into the wall. Yes, it’s necessary. 3) Cufflinks shaped like dinosaurs, red Solo cups and other things you’ve never seen cufflinks shaped like.
Bad news: DC has one less brewery, now that Chocolate City has closed. Good news: it’s got one more bar. This place, hard by the freight rail tracks in Northeast. Expect soft pretzels, salami, sandwiches by the inch and a jukebox. You’ll probably find a train song on there somewhere.
No, you don’t have to live in Woodridge to appreciate this cool new neighborhood spot. You just need to appreciate housemade cavatelli, seared cod, shishito peppers and plenty of vermouth drinks served in an airy, summery space. See? You’re appreciating it already.
It’s going to be nice out this weekend. So don’t stay inside. Just go inside long enough to get new stuff to wear outside. Emporium DNA’s pop-up shop at Union Market is knocking up to 90% off brands like John Varvatos, Fred Perry and Rag & Bone. Just pick the short sleeves.
This marks the end of the Bloody Mary as you know it. Because here come six off-the-rails versions, made with stuff like lox, caviar, cantaloupe, prosciutto and cricket salt, that you can tipple while a DJ spins all afternoon. Horseradish, you had a good run.
Here’s how to make the other brunch-goers jealous. Tell them you’re going to a brunch crab cake throwdown at the Source, with eight chefs. Tell them about the pickleback bar, the Bloody Mary bar, the beer, the wine and the oyster stations. Or just go and don’t tell them.
